Introduction

The Gummy Bear Fizz is a fun and colorful mocktail that’s perfect for parties or a playful treat. Combining fruity flavors with fizzy soda and gummy bears, this drink delights both kids and adults alike with its sparkling, candy-infused charm.

Ingredients

About ¼ cup gummy bears per glass
Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon) for garnish
Fruit juice (such as orange or pineapple), 1 cup
Lemon-lime soda, 1 cup
Club soda or sparkling water, ½ cup
Sugar for rimming glasses (optional)
Lemon juice (for sugar rim)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glasses. Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. For sugar-rimmed glasses, dip the rim in lemon juice, then dip it into sugar for a sparkly effect.
Step 2: Mix the Base. In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice and lemon-lime soda. Stir in the club soda or sparkling water to add extra fizz.
Step 3: Pour and Watch the Magic Happen. Pour the mixed drink into the prepared glasses over the gummy bears. The gummy bears will start to float and soak up the flavors.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy. Garnish with additional gummy bears on skewers or floating on top, add fresh fruit slices if desired, serve with a straw, and enjoy the fizzy fruity delight.

Tips & Variations

For an extra fun presentation, skewer gummy bears and place them over the glass as garnish.
Use different fruit juice combinations like pineapple and cranberry for unique flavors.
To prevent gummy bears from dissolving too quickly, add them just before serving.
Try rimming the glass with colored sugar or edible glitter for a festive touch.

Storage

The mixed juice and soda without the gummy bears can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not add the gummy bears until just before serving, as they will become very soft and lose their shape if left in the drink overnight. If you have leftovers without gummy bears, gently stir before serving to refresh the fizz.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the Gummy Bear Fizz ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the fruit juice with the sodas and store the mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add the gummy bears only when you’re ready to serve to keep them fresh and chewy.

What can I use if I don’t have lemon-lime soda?

If you don’t have lemon-lime soda, you can substitute with plain soda water or sparkling mineral water. The drink will be less sweet, so you might want to add a little extra fruit juice or a touch of simple syrup if desired.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink

1 cup fruit juice (such as orange, pineapple, or mixed fruit juice)
1 cup lemon-lime soda
½ cup club soda or sparkling water

For Garnish and Presentation

¼ cup gummy bears per glass
Fresh fruit slices (orange, lime, or lemon), for garnish
Sugar, for rimming glasses (optional)
Lemon juice, for rimming glasses (optional)
Gummy bears on skewers, for fun presentation (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Glasses: Add about ¼ cup of gummy bears to the bottom of each tall glass. If you want a sugar rim, dip the rim of the glass into lemon juice, then into sugar to coat evenly. This adds sparkle and a touch of sweetness to each sip.
Mix the Base: In a large cup or small pitcher, combine the fruit juice with lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to blend. Then add the club soda or sparkling water to introduce extra fizz and lighten the drink.
Pour and Watch the Magic Happen: Carefully pour the juice and soda mixture over the gummy bears in each glass. Observe as the gummy bears begin to float and absorb the flavors, creating colorful swirls and a fun texture to the drink.
Serve and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with a skewer of gummy bears or add a few gummy bears floating on top. Add a fresh fruit slice to the rim or float it inside for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve with a straw and enjoy the refreshing, candy-infused fizz.

Notes

To prep in advance, mix the juice and sodas in a pitcher and refrigerate. Add gummy bears just before serving to prevent them from dissolving too quickly.
You can triple the recipe and serve from a large dispenser for parties; offer extra gummy bears on the side for guests to customize their drinks.
Store mixed juice and soda (without gummy bears) in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Gummy bears left in the drink overnight will become very soft, so it’s best to serve fresh.
Customize flavors by using different fruit juices or adding fresh herbs like mint or basil for an adult twist.
